Cobra's Market View

First of all, don't forget our poll for this weekend: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=701

Begin with institutional accumulation and distribution as well as liquidity charts from stocktiming. Nothing unusual, distribution is larger than the accumulation now.

Smart money still huge short. Begin covering though.

II and AAII

The final conclusion of the last week's stock picks.

Hi Cobra, In yr latest AAPL update you expect bias a little bit to the downside BUT the blue lines suggest a further drop to the 595-600 area. Can u please tell us how strongly you feel about this lower potential target or do you see selling exhaustion at current levels? Thanks you for your time, especially on weekends!

Sorry, that blue line was drawn on 10/09, implying rebound then fail, it's fulfilled, so I just removed it. Now I need see how low this coming down leg goes first.

Panel in the middle is SPY:XLU ratio. Notice that performance of SPY correlates with the direction of trend line breaks. This ratio fell under two rising trend lines recently. Since than SPY is below the trigger price. Going back to 1998, SPY didn't post any significant gains after such a break, in fact most often it produced significant losses. Alternate views/interpretations will be welcomed.

Here is a link to an article that everyone should read.There are 4 charts and each one is explained very well..Both bulls and bears should should read..If things turn out like the writer explaines it will be bearish for the mkt..Not a long article and easy to read.Go to www.seekingalpha.com/article/921951

Unlike the 50ma, it takes a lot of strength/weakness to jump the shark on the 200ma. In fact it happens just a couple times a year.
See what happened over the past few years when the percent-of-stocks-above-their-200ma fell below the blue 12ema (red circles).
THIS IS WEEKLY so it needs room to breathe, and it will bounce like a honey badger if we re-test the highs, but the last time we saw these
intermediate-term sell-signals fire in unison was in April.

I’m posting this update prematurely. It’s for intermediate-term “Trend Follower”portfolios.
Based on the old Gerald Appel strategy: Exit when both the 5 and 10ema cross below the 20ema, BUT THE TRANS MUST CONFIRM,
and they are not confirming yet.
Last time I posted this was in June when it confirmed a buy (green boxes).
So who cares about longer-term trend followers? We all do, because if/when this confirms a sell signal, the LTs may start crowding the exits…

Yes definitely here is my take

KeiZai is right, next week is da week to be exciting about either support here or confirmation of what to come. for a long time we finally have a solid trend for short term we should enjoy it for what it is because this easy trade set up will end soon and whipsaw at its best will resume.
since everyone is kind of bearish lets look at the bright side of thing, $BPSPX is not breaking down as bad, so bears need to see this break down to seal the deal. above 70 is still over bought. longer term I'll say it won't go below that this time around.

Here is my UUP, Sell first ask question later type of deal for me.

sell UUP first? Is it intraday play or swing? Shouldn't UUP move up ahead after a short term pullback (likely on Monday)?

Yes, short term swing, see my zoomed up previous gap resistance zone , Daily is bullish but intraday and swing is sell the rip on my read.

It would be sweet to get one more leg up in euro (short-term) I hope u are right (I am short from 1.2982 but 1.302 would be even better entry point )
